Notes About The Poem
Hymn Music: Savior of the Nations, Come. (Martin Luther)
Savior of a Fallen Race
Savior of a fallen race in our darkness shines Your grace,
Through the mire of sin and death we await Your heav’nly breath.
Shepherd of our troubled hearts, Comforter as life departs,
Cling we to each promise sure, there to lean as faith endures.
Wake in us Your will to do, let our eyes in faith see You,
Turn our sorrow into song, raise our voices loud and strong.
Shield us from the tempter’s might, though our sight be dark as night,
Place our confidence in You, make our wayward spirit true.
Rescue us from apathy let this plea be plain to see
For the souls enslaved by sin never see the dark within.
Chase away each doubt and fear let us to Your Word draw near,
Safely in Your loving arms we are freed from all that harms.
In our stead for sins You bled for our souls Your life was shed,
Raised from death to life with You, grant us grace to live anew.
Lift our hearts to You in prayer, let us always find You there,
Take away each spot and stain, walk with us upon the plain.
